Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This inspiring memoir by 90-year-old Joy Elise Fox poignantly recounts her childhood before, during, and after WWII, demonstrating the profound strength of hope and resilience.Joy was only four years old when the war broke out, and she shares her journey until she was 23, when her family emigrated from England to Canada in 1958. This book is dedicated to her mother, who was abandoned by her husband just before the war. Joy's story captures the unimaginable hardships-the destruction of her home by bombs, relentless upheaval as a child evacuee, living in nine different places, crushing poverty, and bleak shelters. Yet, despite these challenges, Joy's hope remained unbroken, fuelling an indomitable spirit that propelled her to become a pioneering entrepreneur at a time when women rarely led businesses. Joy's life message of courage and perseverance will inspire readers to believe in the transformative power of hope and to discover the inner strength within us all.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As the global climate changes, scientists anticipate that the distribution of animal populations and disease vectors will expand. In the case of arthropods, such efforts hold immense significance as they have the potential to increase human mortality and suffering from arboviruses above current levels. The 238th American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C. on August 16-20, 2009, offered an opportunity for researchers to present anddiscuss new findings in invertebrate repellents research, regulations, and technology development.Recently efforts have been made to understand the role of chemicals in arthropod behavior, and screening programs are starting to incorporate repellency testing into their battery of bioassays. The lack of standardized protocols for measuring and comparison of repellents has remained a significant obstacle in arthropod research. Oftentimes studies report variable measures of success, and comparison of results across studies is not always consistent. Progress in the standardization of arthropodtest methods for repellents would be valuable to many groups including academic researchers working in the field, contract labs supplying test results, government research laboratories, regulatory bodies in the process of developing guidelines for product registration, as well as companies looking toinvest in new technologies. Perhaps one complicating factor in this process has been that research and technology haven't moved fast enough to meet the demand for effective arthropod repellents. Issues such as pest arthropod resurgence and insecticide/repellent resistance to chemical can create new challenges and add pressure for researchers.The collection of chapters in this book covers a range of applied and basic research on arthropod repellents. An overview of the state of arthropod repellents research is provided at the start. In the chapters that follow, there is a selection of papers demonstrating research on new repellent technologies at different stages of development. The scope of basic and applied research methods described in these chapters on new repellent technologies presents the range of testing that is oftennecessary to move a repellent technology forwardin development. The transition from newly developed technologies to registered products is achieved in perspective of a growing market for natural arthropod repellents. New technologies that are completely developed and have gone through registration need to be accompanied by successful commercialization. The growing market for natural arthropod repellents presents such an example and highlights new opportunities in this area. The concluding chapter discusses the public entomology landscape,past and future opportunities for the development of chemical protectants.…
